More quotes by Steve Coogan
I always find it easier to portray myself as being unlikeable and idiotic to actually play a character that is likeable and engages the audience is far more difficult. It's a more subtle kind of challenge.
Steve Coogan
That was liquid football
Steve Coogan
In England, I've done a whole bunch of stuff where I just make a complete ass of myself. I've been doing it for 20 years, so I just gravitate toward it anyway. I'd rather do that than do the stuff where I'm supposed to be trying to look cool in some way. It's more interesting to me.
Steve Coogan
I think if you try to look for something to show off as an actor, vanity can get the better of you.
Steve Coogan
I don't think there's anything outside what comedy can address.
Steve Coogan
I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.
Steve Coogan
I'm an entertainer. I don't go round saying I'm a paragon of virtue, so that is clearly not in the public interest.
Steve Coogan
The fundamentalists are insistent that they know best. It's a dictatorial attitude towards personal morality, which is a modern creation that came about in the 19th century.
Steve Coogan
All those people who go around saying Life begins at forty, they're notable by their absence. The nerve.
Steve Coogan
Sadly, I can't say the same for my Father, who is probably in a different place - Hell.
Steve Coogan
A lot of people can be very scared about making themselves vulnerable and appearing uncool. I don't really give a damn as long as it's funny, I'll do it [make fun of myself].
Steve Coogan
What tends to happen in most movies is that strip clubs are used as a short hand for unsympathetic, sleazy people. And that's just a lazy cliché.
Steve Coogan
I enjoy comedy but it can become wearisome.
Steve Coogan
Knowing about comedy has helped me with the drama. To see people laugh, it's like there are moments of catharsis in the middle of sadness.
Steve Coogan
When I was a student I was very, very ambitious, completely immersed in my comedy career. I never had that period of reckless hedonism that you should get out of your system in your youth.
Steve Coogan
I'm a huge fan of Jack Lemmon, he was someone who managed to tread that line between comedy and tragedy and sometimes give very big performances, but they were never over-demonstrative and they were never not based on a kind of real truthful human being.
Steve Coogan
When I play myself, I want to be a slightly better person. It just agrees. Everything I play about myself is kind of true, but it's amplified. We all edit, don't we? If you're self-aware, you stop yourself - you know how to behave properly.
Steve Coogan
Hacking into a victim of crime's phone is a sort of poetically elegant manifestation of a modus operandi the tabloids have.
Steve Coogan
I want my work to be judged, not me.
Steve Coogan
I'm not like a politician that goes around talking about family values. And I can't get fired from being a funny person because I did something that most people are disapproving of. I think people are just obsessed with this morality that people perceive as being the right and wrong way of doing stuff.
Steve Coogan
